I am curious multi-coloured

Just in time for my annual bout of back to school envy, the clearance pile at the local big box book purveyor yielded a gem that catapulted me right back to those heady days of grade one, if in grade one we had been permitted to colour in the human musculoskeletal system instead of those crudely-rendered mittens hanging on a clothesline.

You have no idea how tempted I am to indulge in a fresh new pack of pencil crayons right now. Maybe even a new pencil case to keep them in.

This could very well displace the internet, perhaps even bubble wrap, as the ultimate time-waster. And with over 150 labelled diagrams, complete with informative captions, my new colouring book could very well force me to finally commit to memory all those anatomical details which I learned in only the most rudimentary fashion in university. And then promptly forgot after the exam.
